The Marbles 'Bullseye' sights are awesome though, and combine extreme speed with decent precision by having two concentric rings. They do NOT block the lower half of the view like regular irons, but they are only adjustable the same coarse way other 'wedge-and-drift' factory barrel-mounted sights are.
But once sighted in they are great. Want REAL change? Re: Peep Sight vs Iron Sight Post by piller » Mon Aug 14, am The M16 family of firearms uses a rear peep sight and there are a lot of us who have used one that was issued to us. Peep sights are good for most situations, and the bigger aperture is better for close range or faster work such as hunting in the brush. The smaller aperture is better for longer ranges or finer work such as slow fire in the target or hunting in open grassland rolling hills type of terrain where your quarry will be spotted at yards or more away.
I an 52 years old and nearsighted, use a computer all day, and peep sights are much easier for me now than open sights. When ranges get above yards it is peep or glass now for me. Even my. It hurts my sense of aesthetics to see a beautiful levergun with a scope, but practicality and ethical standards win. Heck, my Ruger Super Redhawk will be receiving a peep sight after the Marlin does.
Just opening the aperture to ghost ring size by removing the threaded insert will make shooting that pistol accurately just a lot easier. My is getting some high visibility sights added and it should be done by Friday. Just waiting on the sights to come in so that the gun shop can install them. When your vision is not perfect, it is not a bad thing to be practical and use something to improve your chances of making a good shot.
Peep sights are one such improvement. Advanced is being able to do the basics while your leg is on fireBill Jeans Don't ever take a fence down until you know why it was put upRobert Frost.
Fast to sight, as accurate in all hunting conditions I have used them. So in the end for many of us And if Ol' Daniel himself might have seen a sturdy one he just might have used it. Peeps were on target flintlocks way back in the 's. But generally they were not sturdy enough to be taken to the field for long hunts. Todays receiver sights They will break Some can have an optical element put into the aperture, and in certain competitions these may be legal.
Peep sights are not considered "open" sights, which is generally reserved for the various buckhorn styles. In almost all instances the peep sight will improve shooting. The size of the aperture will definitely influence to what degree there's an improvement.
Smaller aperture sizes usually improve accuracy the most, but can be problematic in low light situations. I've had guys tell me that they find an open aperture faster in sighting on multiple targets as in cowboy action than any type of open sights.
I haven't found that to be true in my case. Personally, I prefer tang peep sights, but one must learn to keep the thumb alongside the tang, rather than wrapped over it. Others have said how much they dislike this technique, so receiver or bolt mounted peeps are their preference. I'll take the longer sight radius over the slight reduction in grip.
I'm over it!! No I ain't ready, but let's do it anyway! With my year-old eyes and cataracts, I can scarcely use an open sight any more. Re: Peep Sight vs Iron Sight Post by mikld » Mon Aug 14, pm When my eyesight took a down turn I couldn't hit anything with my guns' open sights, rifles or handguns.
After trying a few different configurations full buck horn, "Bullseye", flat top square, round, etc. The holes then started appearing closer to the center of the target Mike Vocatus atque non vocatus, Deus aderit I've learned how to stand on my own two knees I find that, while micrometer-adjustments are fine for paper target work, the "set-n-forget" types work best for me, since I usually settle on 1 load for hunting. Every one has its advantages and disadvantages. Perhaps the low-powered scope comes the closest to an ideal, but among iron sights the peep reigns supreme.
Properly set up and properly used, nothing is faster or more accurate in a wide range of applications. Most folks new to peeps make two basic mistakes. First, they select an aperture that is too small. A small aperture is great for target shooting under good lighting conditions, but can prove frustrating in fast, up-close shooting or low light. The second mistake is in how the sight is used -- you should never try to center the front sight in the rear aperture; rather, let your eye do the work.
No matter the size of the aperture, you should always simply look through it and place the front sight where you want the shot to go. The center, big peep or small, is always the center, and your eye will naturally and automatically find it if you allow it to. The aperture itself should not even be in your consciousness.
So-called "twilight" apertures look good, but don't really provide much of anything positive for me. If low light shooting is a concern, a bright front sight is the way to go. I find fiber optic front sights a hindrance; yes, they are bright, but to my eye represent more of a bright, amorphous blob of light than a precise aiming point.
Better for me is a white or German silver, fairly thin, Patridge-style post. Some may prefer a bead, but don't make it too big. I have used both open sights and apertures sights extensively for target shooting and for hunting deer, and after using both I have come to prefer open sights over peep sight for hunting. I have Williams and Lyman peeps sights and have taken them off my rifles. I do not care for plastic or fibre optic sights.
They are not precise enough for my liking, and I have found them fragile. AS far the accuracy difference, I have found that with correct open sights and understanding how to use them, they will shoot as well as peep sights out to yards. Ranges further than that the peep sight and a front blade will take over.
After a lot of study of old records and experimentation, the front bead foresight combined with an open rear, either a notch, or even better a wide V are the best for both hunting and target shooting at less than yards.
I have found that the standard sights as used on a Winchester 94 are generally excellent. Peep sights have been around as long as compound bows have been in existence, and almost every archery shop in the world will outfit a new compound bow with some version of a peep sight.
There are many positives for shooting a peep sight. For starters, a peep sight can really help you to narrow in your sight picture, and help to eliminate outside distractions. This is very helpful when you are hunting big game such as white-tailed deer or elk. Peep sights can help you stay fundamentally sound when shooting your bow. Much like any sport, in archery hunting staying true to the fundamentals and a routine is important.
It can be very easy to change your anchor point without realizing it, which can drastically reduce your accuracy. Employing a feature such as a kisser button along with a peep sight can help you to ensure that your anchor point is solid every time.
While there are other benefits to using a peep sight, these few are the top reasons why most archery hunters will have a peep sight accompanying their bow sight selection.
While there are not many, there are a few cons that come along with implementing a peep sight set up. These cons are especially true for archery hunting situations and chasing white-tailed deer and less of an issue with those just enjoy competitive archery. If there is one complaint that many love archery hunting will profess about peep sights, it is their ability to effectively shoot in low light situations. While peep sights allows for narrowing of the sight picture, to help increase accuracy, it can also greatly reduce the light gathering abilities and make it difficult to see your target when the light grows dim.
This aspect of the peep sight has cost many archery hunters a white-tailed deer at one point or another. An additional con that tends to ride along with the use of a peep sight is simply the dependence on the peep to shoot your bow at all.
Peep sights also improve on magnifying optical sights by allowing you to see a wider field of view, at a fraction of the cost. And peep sights can be surprisingly precise aiming devices. At 50 yards, the riflescope produced slightly more accurate results, probably because the front post on my rifle obscured much of the target, making a precise aiming point difficult with the peep.
But at both and yards, the peep sight held its own. At yards, the optic had the clear advantage, though the group size was inadequate. But given the choice between standard buckhorn sights and many of the unremarkable unmagnified reflex sights on the market, peeps are an option that deserve to return from obscurity.
This sight has a low profile for an unobtrusive look. The aperture provides a crisp, clear picture of the target and front blade, allowing for fast shooting. This system lets you easily switch to a scope wearing Talley QD rings as well. Built to work as a backup on a scoped rifle, this sight has a pop-up aperture that can be deployed once the scope is removed.
